Bright Star-like object hovered/drifted/changed direction then disappeared.
While waiting at taxi terminal at Spokane International Airport I spotted a "star-like" object almost directly overhead - slightly to north. Luminosity like the planet Venus. Moved slowly from east to west, then changed direction moved from north to south. Above high clouds. Clouds moving south to north. Flickered in sunlight like highly reflective surface changing aspect. Appeared to be a second "lobe" underneath first when flickering. Lost sight of object when it flickered and "went dark". Total sighting time 20 - 30 minutes. Original gaze was occasioned by criss-cross of persistant vapor trails above Spokane that were emitted by white tanker planes seen on approach for landing.
